Digs Raises $25.3M from Builders FirstSource to Transform Residential Construction with AI

Homebuilding AI startup Digs raises $25.3M and partners with building products giant

Digs, a Vancouver, Wash.-based startup building AI software for residential construction, raised $25.3 million in Series A funding led by building products giant Builders FirstSource, the companies announced Tuesday. Under the five-year agreement, Builders FirstSource will integrate Digs' AI platform into its digital ecosystem, expanding tools for its 140,000 builder clients. The technology streamlines everything from pre-construction estimates and blueprint collaboration to post-move-in home maintenance and warranty care for homeowners. The deal represents a major milestone for Digs, which was founded in 2022 by Ryan Fink and Ty Frackiewicz. Fink said the partnership moves Digs closer to its vision of creating "the first scalable true digital twin of the home" that lives on well past the construction phase. The Series A pushes Digs' total funding to more than $47 million, building on a $5 million pre-Series A round in late 2025. The startup previously drew backing from regional venture firms including Fuse, Flying Fish, Oregon Venture Fund, and Cascade Seed Fund. Digs has grown to 37 employees and Fink said they'll look to double that count to more than 60 by the end of the year, mostly in engineering, design, and product and some in sales and marketing. Digs charges builders on a SaaS model and currently has thousands of homes on its platform across all 50 states. Fink often describes the tool as a "CarFax for the home," replacing static PDF blueprints and lost paperwork with an AI-powered hub that tracks a property's history, materials, and warranty details. Fink and Frackiewicz previously collaborated on augmented reality startup ONtheGo Platforms, which was acquired in 2015. Fink later founded home-service AR startup Streem (acquired by Frontdoor in 2019), while Frackiewicz brought a background in construction engineering and luxury homebuilding. Headquartered in Irving, Texas, Builders FirstSource is the nation's largest supplier of building materials and prefabricated components for residential construction. The Fortune 500 company operates approximately 565 locations across 43 states, supplying structural building products, trusses, and millwork to professional homebuilders in 91 of the top 100 U.S. metropolitan markets. "Our customers are looking for seamless technology that helps them operate more efficiently and deliver a better homeowner experience," Builders FirstSource President and CEO Peter Jackson said in a statement. "By combining Builders FirstSource's scale, deep customer relationships, product data, and extensive digital ecosystem with Digs' AI platform, we are advancing tools that can simplify workflows, improve productivity, and create a more connected experience across the homebuilding lifecycle."
